Break table cell in one text frame

Report · Jul 10, 2023

Hello everyone,

I think it is known that InDesign cannot break table cells across multiple text frames. I still wanted to ask if anyone has a solution how to force a break in a table cell.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
David

You can add your voice to the TOP-1 feature request on indesign.uservoice.com and post there post with many angry words about Adobe engineers that ignore this request already 20+ years. I don't have any kind words why they don't add this feature.

Adobe, shame on you! This is TOP #1 feature request of your users many years already.

Doable via scripting - but I'm not sure if there is anything for free.

I'm not repeat. Not repeat, really: Adobe, shame on you!

(this script can merge again divided strokes after changes)
